STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.-- Officials have not yet released the identity of a 44-year-old Bayonne, N.J., man believed to have jumped from the Bayonne Bridge, but the Port Authority said security cameras were in place and working this past weekend.

Cameras are in place monitoring the toll booths and the middle of the span, said Joseph Pentangelo, a Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman.

Because of the construction project, cameras monitoring the pedestrian walkway were removed, but so was the walkway and there is nothing to monitor, Pentangelo said. The Bayonne Police Department retrieved the body, he said.

Pentangelo said it was "undetermined" if the man did jump from the span, and the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office confirmed that, saying the investigation is continuing.

Bayonne police discovered the body at 3:15 a.m. Sunday in the Bergen Point area of Bayonne.

Rubino told the Journal the man's family spoke with him Friday evening and reported him missing a short while later.

Because of the project to raise the Bayonne Bridge, which will allow larger new container ships clearance to access ports at Howland Hook and New Jersey, the Port Authority closed the pedestrian walkway August 5, and it will not be reopened until the project's completion expected in the fall of 2015.
